You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 52.91.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:26, 2 September 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''KIIS 97.3''' (call sign: '''4BFM''') is a [[commercial broadcasting|commercial]] [[FM radio]] station in [[Brisbane]], [[Australia]]. It is a 50/50 joint venture between [[Nova Entertainment]] and [[Australian Radio Network|ARN]].<ref>((Cite news | edition = Late | issn = 0312-6315 | page = 27 | last = Marriner | first = Cosima | title = Radio pair win Brisbane slot with $67m | work = [[Sydney Morning Herald]] | date = 2001-05-31 | url = http://smh.com.au/news/0105/31/biztech/biztech17.html | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20020215073814/http://smh.com.au/news/0105/31/biztech/biztech17.html |access-date = 2012-01-11 |archive-date = 2002-02-15 ))</ref>

== History ==
KIIS 97.3 plays current hits and a variety of 1980s, 1990s and 2000s music ([[Hot Adult Contemporary]]), primarily targeted at the 25-54 age group, the group most valued by advertisers. Brisbane's 97.3 FM  is part of the [[KIIS Network]] with sister stations in other major Australian cities - [[KIIS 106.5]] [[Sydney]], [[KIIS 101.1]] [[Melbourne]], [[Mix 102.3]] [[Adelaide]], [[96FM (Perth radio station)|96FM]] [[Perth]]. In January 2015, 97.3fm rebranded with a new logo, along with sister stations in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Perth.

The addition of DAB AAC+ Digital Radio to Brisbane means that 97.3 FM and its co-owned Classic Hits 4KQ will both be available on the digital format. The additional channel to be provided by 97.3 is called "The Edge Digital", a digital format revamp of the ARN owned [[CADA|Edge 96.1]] in [[Western Sydney]].

The station's headquarters in Brisbane is located in the inner-western suburb of [[Milton, Queensland|Milton]], after [[Australian Radio Network|ARN]] relocated the 97.3FM and 4KQ stations from Stones Corner in May 2019. 

Launched as 97.3fm, the station was rebranded as KIIS 97.3 on 24 January 2022. The new logo is similar to the '''KIIS''' logo used in Sydney and Melbourne, however with the 97.3 frequency larger than the KIIS text. It has also retained its Hot AC music format.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.radiotoday.com.au/brisbanes-97-3fm-transitioning-to-the-kiis-brand/|title = Brisbane's 97.3FM transitioning to the KIIS brand|date = 17 January 2022))</ref> By December 2022, the logo reverted to the same design used by KIIS in Sydney and Melbourne.

In March 2024, [[Australian Radio Network|ARN]] announced changes to its daytime programming with Gordie Waters being networked from Sydney into [[KIIS 101.1]] in Melbourne and in Brisbane from April.<ref>((Cite web |last=Patterson |first=Sarah |date=2024-03-22 |title=ARN announces changes to its daytime line up |url=https://radiotoday.com.au/arn-announces-changes-to-its-daytime-line-up/ |access-date=2024-03-23 |website=Radio Today |language=en-AU))</ref>
